The Retreat People is all about meaningful connections, strong community and sharing our passions.

Whether your passions are yoga and pilates or creative writing and photography, we believe in making more time for what we love. Getting away from work, off our phones, and back into the real world where we can engage with life, and grow together, whilst doing what we love.

We offer monthly meet ups (to stay connected) and immersive travel experiences (where you can learn more about what you love, and engage with the culture and country you’re visiting).

We work with venues and suppliers that align with our values, to create opportunities for growth,  inspire a zest for life, and make new friends in the process (all in the most stunning locations). 

Whether you’re new to London, or been here all your life, you’ll know that there is a lot going on. And in a city of infinite opportunities and seemingly endless amounts of people, it can sometimes be hard to find your people.

It was during our travels, hosting yoga retreats around the world, that we witnessed the powerful, transformative effect these experiences had on our retreaters.

But when we returned to London, we quickly realised that it could be difficult to maintain those new habits and friendships amidst the chaos of city life.

That’s when we decided to create monthly meet ups — a space where you can keep those connections alive, nurture your passions, and make the changes from your retreat even more meaningful. Plus, get your monthly dose of that retreat feeling in the process!

'Sofia's retreat was just what I needed to unwind from daily life. The location was fabulous, calming and serene. And Sofia's gentle flows and luscious yoga nidra restored my tired body and left my mind well rested and renewed...'- Natalie

'This yoga retreat was the perfect escape from my busy life I didn’t know I needed. I’ve never laughed so much in the space of a few days. Amazing yoga classes, breathtaking venue and the best company! Coming back from the retreat has urged me to prioritise daily movement and make time for the little things in life that bring me joy!'- Ellen

'The venue was beyond expectations, the classes have been perfect and I came back feeling renewed and even better in practicing Yoga which I love. Looking forward to join another retreat with Sofia Panas as I know it will recharge me and I will meet incredible people + have a fun time.'- Iria
